Description:
Founded in 1853, it flourished for
most of its first 50 years under
Miss Dorothea Beale, a pioneer of
the belief that the education of
girls is every bit as important as
that of boys. In 1873 it moved into
fine buildings at Bayshill, near the
centre of regency Cheltenham. There
have been many additions since to
provide a well-equipped school, most
recently a performing arts centre
and a programme of boarding house
refurbishments. The school provides
an environment that is supportive,
interesting and challenging, in a
culture where every girl matters and
where their progress and wellbeing
are paramount. It has a strong
academic tradition with a large,
well-qualified staff. The
International Baccalaureate is
offered as an alternative to
A-levels. Academic standards are
high and examination results are
consistently excellent; a large
number of girls go on to Oxbridge
each year and many to US
universities. Music, drama and art
are strong and good standards are
continuously achieved. High
standards are attained in sport,
with many representatives at county,
regional and national level, while
others will develop their skills,
work as a team and lead a healthy
lifestyle. A range of some 100 clubs
allows all pupils to find one or
more activity to suit them.
